I like CMake very much, but I'm glad there are other tools to do the same task out there even new ones. Diversity is good because it brings you choice. What would be Open Source without the freedom of choice? I'd like to be able to switch from KDE to Gnome to XFCE to Enlightment.... from time to time. I may even provide patch to everyone of them. Moreover if you can afford the freedom to "do it your own way", why wouldn't you do it ? That said companies have their own marketing view which may be far away from my point of view. E.g. from my side when you say "Nokia that prefer to create QtCreator instead of improving KDevelop" I would answer that "create QtCreator" does not prevent from "improving KDevelop". Both project can benefit from one another. >From the Nokia side I doubt it but I honestly don't know. -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
